Kreuzer's code is C/C++ and part of the reason for their own database 
format is that it is highly efficient. Sage has plain text databases for 2 
and 3 dimensional cases (these are small and available as 
ReflexivePolytopes(...)) as well as a a HUGE 8GB optional package for 4 
dimensional polytopes together with Hodge numbers. I don't think we have 
some "direct" interface to reading their binary format, when I was working 
with 4 and 5 dimensional cases I used palp decoder in a pipe, reading 
polytopes from there.

On a very related note, there are recent improvements to the speed of 
lattice (including reflexive) polytopes that need review:
